> If Milgram's experimental method were discredited or debunked, should we conclude that, in fact, the findings were that the average person will revolt against an unjust authority, and therefore we should interpret a lack of pervasive popular revolt as a sign of justness and legitimacy of the authorities?

No. Milgram's experiment being discredited means that we should revert back to the "we don't know what average person does".

If you want to conclude that "the average person will revolt against an unjust authority" you will need to make multiple valid experiments to confirm that first. And you should not forget that peoples behavior is strongly influenced by cultures they are in, so you will also need to account for that.

> therefore we should interpret a lack of pervasive popular revolt as a sign of justness and legitimacy of the authorities

Slavery used to be considered just and legitimate. Slavery is not considered just and legitimate. "justness and legitimacy" are not scientific terms.
Which is often dependent on interpretation, which helps explain the polarization of this discussion. Faced with a given discussion, it's likely that people who are ideologically aligned with the questioner will see it as valid, and those aligned with the one being questioned will see sealioning. I've found it a good thing to keep in mind when I evaluate my own online behavior, but not so useful when evaluating others'.
One of my lessons learned from 2020 is that, while a picture may still be worth 1000 words, those words are not inherently more or less unbiased than the printed word.

> FWIW classic VB is a sort of in-between because you are editing the actual forms and state you'd see running

VB could be a little weird in that respect. This screenshot of 1.0 has a clue about why:

https://winworldpc.com/screenshot/40c3942c-c281-2230-11c3-a4...

The timer control in the toolbar (left column, second from the bottom) is an example of a control you could drag over into the 'form editor', give a location, but was totally invisible at runtime. All it did was provide a hook for timer events.

This pattern turned into something common, at least in early VB. The extension mechanism for the language was defined in terms of VBX custom controls - which were intended to be visual controls that showed up on screen. The model worked well as long as that assumption held true, but VBX was also turned into an ad hoc mechanism for everything else.

The net of this was that you often had a form editor showing a bunch of totally-non-graphical VBX controls that would do things like send mail, interact with a PBX, whatever else.

Rolling back from this mess was a bit part of the impetus for the way OLE/COM 2.0 was designed, specifically OCX controls and IDispatch.

I’m not an expert in Linux graphics, but I spent about a day trying to fix that but failed.

eglSwapInterval does nothing. The GPU driver exposes no *_swap_control extensions anywhere. There’re 3 extendable parts, EGL, GLES client and GLES server with many extensions each, but nothing resembling GLX_EXT_swap_control/GLX_MESA_swap_control/GLX_SGI_swap_control.

Other applications on that Pi4 who render many FPS (web browser or VLC player) also have screen tearing. I assume these people know way more about Linux GPU stuff, yet they failed too.

Do you have an advice how I can do that on that Pi4, with EGL 1.1 and GLES 3.1?

P.S. Based on the internets, the problem was introduced in Pi4. In earlier versions things were good.

Text is important, but its datum is rarely independent. More undo is useful than the text in the current text control. Anything else requires (and rarely gets) more substantial command undo/redo. I'm not making a black&white point, I am honestly surprised it so easily became "non-essential without apology".
From the article:

> For example, one paper reported mean task scores of 8.98ms and 6.01ms for males and females, respectively, but a grand mean task score of 23ms.

A 9th grader should be able to find that inconsistency, if you give them the table and tell the to find the number that is wrong.

(the other stuff is harder to detect, and I fully understand that you can't request and re-process the raw data for every paper you peer review. Some of these numbers....)
I wouldn't associate "social" and "social democracy" with "socialism" though (maybe that's because I've grown up in a socalist country - the GDR), and I wouldn't call SPD members "socialists", they're called "social-democrats". There seems to be an internal controversy between the SPD's left and right wing about the term "democratic socialism" though, which once was a stated future goal of the party.
I wonder how are they going to enforce their rules, e.g. non-commercial use. I assume this will require some monitoring to be effective. Large scale Twitter API access is typically pricey, malicious actors might try to buy or steal researcher's credentials to cut costs.

FANTAG rolls of the tongue.
I suspect the illusion comes from assuming the picure is realistic, in the sense that there is a place where one could stand and perceive the scene as depicted.

In my experience, which is limited to phone cameras and the like, they seem to produce realistic images at short ranges, but a landscape picture looks much smaller and more distant than how the scene seems to me as I take it, unless I zoom in. That has me wondering if there is some geometry that would give realistic-looking pictures at all distances? Perhaps if the camera is sized such that the lens-to-sensor distance is about the same as the eye-to-picture distance when viewing the images?

Another issue that I am wondering about comes from the fact that telescopes (and, I am assuming, telescopic lenses for photography) have an objective lens to produce an image that is much closer, and then an eyepiece (or whatever the equivalent is called in photography) to view that image. Does this have different perspective and foreshortening effects than a simple lens which merely casts an image directly on the sensor plane? To put it another way, for a given telescopic lens, is there, at least conceptually, an equivalent simple lens which would produce an identical image of any scene?
"Day care" doesn't do anything. Somebody working there does this.

It happens everywhere. My sister went to buy a car, with her husband tagging along. She couldn't get a sales person to talk to her. She had to go away and come back without him.

My wife cannot be seen in a certain car parts store. The counter guys will "see right through her" and talk to the man behind her in line when it's her turn.

Not quite 'institutional', its certainly cultural. And it it doesn't happen to you, it's easy to think it doesn't exist.

The Left is using psychological projection as a technique. They accuse their opponents of doing exactly what they themselves are doing. They'll call you a fascist while they burn books. They'll call you racist while accusing you of "white privilege". Like you say, they'll destroy people's lives, based on racial hatred, while accusing those people of racial hatred.

The article says even through they’ve listed the husband as primary, they ignore that, so this is clearly not the reason.
Not disparaging IKEA at all--moves like this should be lauded--but this is a working forest, harvested for lumber. I can't speak to how sustainably it's harvested or anything, and while this is commendable, there is profit motive here, as IKEA is heavily dependent on wood for its products.

I think in general, supporting things like working forests from a government level (tax benefits) is probably something that isn't done enough, given forests are one of the best carbon sinks available to us.

The article mentions a myriad of factors that correlate with mental health issues going into adolescence. It’s interesting that the headline targets social media, as the body of the article doesn’t seem to highlight it as an especially strong correlation.

As a side note, the differing trends of boys and girls after adolescence is really interesting.

Will have to read the source material to see if they propose any causes for that
The thing I find disheartening is that if fraudulent results are being cited, it must mean that the mechanism of "standing on the shoulders of giants" is not working. One would expect that these papers would be contributions that citing scientists could benefit from and use in their own work with impact. For example if scientist A truly developed an O(N) sorting algorithm, then a scientist B might use it in their work to derive some other result.

I guess in some fields of science the effective dependency graph of academic work is very flat, and the true results get plucked and developed by industry (being true results it is actually possible to meet the higher reproducibility bar there). And the citations don't actually reflect the true dependencies, but some political/social graph instead. Too bad.
That doesn't sound so good, but I can do one better. The 4 FP EUs/core on the M1 (x64 has 2) that likely lead to this result might also lead other languages to use more floats and doubles.
Typically it is legal for a company you work for to send you to training, but then bill you (typically prorated) for the training cost if you leave the company within a specified time after. And that seems somewhat reasonable in many cases. But then again, a company can come up with "mandatory" annual training with an inflated cost, with a 2-year escape clause, to effectively prevent employees from leaving.
Well in my case it's because I'm generally the more dependable one, and generally the one that has dropped off the child and am registered as the parent coming to pick up the child.

Since then, I've read several reviews and watched videos. In a lot of cases, the update from Ryzen 4000 to Ryzen 5000 mobile is not super impressive (and certainly less so than Ryzen 3000 to Ryzen 4000 mobile, but more so than most of Intel's previous generational improvements), and I do worry there's not a big improvement in battery life, despite what AMD claims in this article.

I've also looked at some RTX 3070 results, and they are not blowing me away either. If anything, the best things to come out of 2021 laptops will probably be screen improvements, and in some cases (ahem Asus) better cooling solutions (though many Asus laptops still lacking webcams!)

I'm surprised that moving from 2 CCX to 1 CCX, doubling the L3 cache, and other Zen 3 improvements aren't having a bigger effect on Ryzen mobile, but as seen here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjFc5ZRtwP4 ) in this direct comparison of Ryzen 7 5800H to Ryzen 7 4800H, some things that Intel was previously excelling at (like Excel ;)!) will now be better handled by AMD.
This is an issue caused by the European Parliament.

Dental Bleaching IT Is Dangerous
A request increased for esthetics in general and that of dental bleaching or to have white teeth with glare in particular was noted during these last years. This dental request can be allotted

to several factors, the media and the social networks have a very significant part of this dental tendency.

To obtain teeth of white color snows with brightness became an obligatory condition for the majority of the researchers of the beauty and the esthetics of the smile.

This result is obtained thanks to the realization of a dental treatment of bleaching or rather a dental explanation.

Products of dental bleaching
It is a dental treatment of bleaching which is based on the use of the kits of the products oxidants, generally containing hydrogen peroxide or of carbamide, which is applied in mouth to the surface of the teeth in order to split up the pigments, which are long chains three-dimensional responsible for colouring and the saturation of the teeth, by a reaction of oxydoreduction. the goal is to change the colour of the tooth and to give again with the latter a brightness of mode.

The treatment can be carried out under the supervision of the doctor dentist according to two techniques.

the goal of treatment is to bleach the teeth without harming the health of the teeth via the dental kit of bleaching.

The technique of bleaching on armchair consists

Hoe shouldn't be an offensive term, since prostitute shouldn't be either. Like gay or yankee, it should be reclaimed as at least neutral if not a mark of pride. But to the extent that it can't be spoken it can't be rehabilitated.

Of course there are a lot of people who disagree and believe that prostitution is just wrong, and that calling someone a whore should be pejorative, like calling someone a thug. While I disagree with this, those people should be able to express themselves freely too.

I wonder where on this scale would "having a soul" would land. The crony beliefs, as described, seem to be only socially based.

I've been thinking about it for a while and I just can't crack it. Plenty of non-religious people in my friend and acquaintance circle believe that after they die their souls will leave this world and... well they won't actually die, I guess.

I just don't see the social value in that. The subject comes up so rarely that it doesn't really matter. If I had to guess how it works, it looks more like some sort of self-defense mechanism than anything - avoiding thinking about (potentially) depressing things that aren't actionable.

So I guess my problem is that I can't find a way to fit that in the proposed framework, unless I missed something?

_edit_

If my assumption about how it works is correct (self-defense) than it would have near 0 social value, but a lot of practical value (not worrying about things beyond one's control). Yet it still sounds like a crony belief - it's most likely not how the universe works imo.

There are entire subreddits dedicated to mocking this point, like /r/PhonesAreBad, and /r/InsaneParents. I doubt half the screenshots they post of text message conversations are even real -- but the point gets across. Phones are the most wonderful thing that keep us connected to each other, and only crude luddites living in the dark ages who don't understand the benefit they provide would take them away from a kid down spiraling into depression.

It's almost like there's this gravitational well of depressed anxious people, and they don't want anyone to escape.
> That looks overly complicated

In practice, it's simple enough. I have a backup script that does all the heavy lifting for borg and rsync. Syncthing operates independently in the background, and I rarely log changes with git. The most tedious part of the process is logging new/changed/deleted files with fim.

> Why is there no single tool that can do all of those?

Good question, and I totally agree. I was actually looking for a solution that could do deduplicated incremental backups (versioning, like time machine) plus file integrity management. I couldn't find one. Nobody seems to care much about file integrity, and nowadays I'm actually unsure if this is a real problem for anyone except paranoid geeks.

Could also use a good frontend GUI that could notify you about changed files, allow you to easily mark directories for different levels of "tracking", easily browse past versions and restore them, etc. The CLI isn't doing any favors here.

> I mostly use rsync. Occasionally I destroy my backups by calling it wrongly, like missing a trailing slash. That could not happen if the copying and file integrity checking was combined in one tool

Try borg-backup, it'll be a massive improvement over plain rsync when it comes to backups.

> But it stores the database as json? That is a bad format to store file names. And written in Java it is probably going to be slow (I have over a million files in ~, and multiple copies of it in the backups, so I care a lot about performance)

Gzipped json on-disk, but I haven't noticed any problems with it over the last few years. I doubt java is bottlenecking the performance at all: it's limited by IO and CPU throughput for hashing the files. For everyday use, you don't need to hash every file in entirety to detect changes. There's a "fast" mode that checks a couple of blocks. You can also operate in a subdirectory of the repo to ignore files outside that subdirectory.

I also don't just use one massive fim repository. I have a .fim/ for each directory I care about (types of data) that a secondary scripts loops through for checking the status. That weakens the integrity guarantees since you can't log the movement of files across directories, but makes it easier to reorganize things.

> So many emojis in the commit log. Is that really necessary nowadays?

Yah, that's the most emojis I've ever seen in a git repo. Maybe 2017 was a different era.

For the record, I am also a Christian, and I suppose to an outsider Catholicism probably looks very odd indeed, what with the feet and the noses and the gall bladders in the jars in the cathedrals and whatnot. But David Jang's "The Community" is odd in a different way --- in a more "Reunification Church" kind of way. Maybe mentally replace "odd" with "idiosyncratic" or "noteworthy". It was late when I wrote that, and I was a bit into my cups.
